But before the happy ending, Ashley went through a rough break-up with Ben, who seemed absolutely convinced she would accept his proposal.

"Will you marry me and make me the happiest man on earth?" he asked while down on one knee.

Ben didn't leave Fiji happy, that's for sure. Ashley chased after him after the failed proposal attempt and tried to console him with a string of compliments.

"I don’t need you to sugarcoat it, that’s what I don’t need," he said. "You can’t leave something like this on good terms. It’s not possible. I don’t know how you want me to feel."

Matt Klitscher/ABCBen, a winemaker from California, had his proposal rejected by Ashley on the season finale of 'The Bachelorette.'

With tears streaming down her face, Ashley said, "I hate this. I hate that I just did that. I hate it. I just feel so awful."

During Ashley's last few days in Fiji, her family posed the biggest challenge. Ashley's brunette, tattooed older sister, Chrystie, really didn't like J.P., and she wasn't shy about telling him. She questioned his age (34) and why he was still single, along with his personality and structured lifestyle.

When J.P. asked what he could do to reassure her or to change her opinion, she quickly said, "I don’t know if it’s anything you could turn around."

When he started to realize Chrystie would probably have an impact on Ashley's choice, J.P. got upset.

"Talk about judging somebody. She doesn’t even know me. To just say you don’t feel it? It’s bullsh*t," he said. “I’m mad. This is something amazing that she could have totally ruined.”

Fortunately, Ashley put the meddling sister in her place.

"You just come across like you’re being such a bitch," she told Chrystie.
